No, it was fate's cruel trick to make me optimistic about my day so it could then knock me down and kick me a few times while it was at it.
To avoid rambling, I'll do a nice, neat numerical list of why my day sucked up one side and right down the other... twice.
- The plan: Boiling my already concentrated RNA for 5 mins, letting it cool for 20 and running a gel for several hours, taking it down around 5:00 and getting on my way. What actually happened: Sample not even close to done concentrating, spent 10 hrs trying to get it down to 1ml, settled on about 4ml and left my gel to run very slowly overnight. Yeah, thats gonna be really ugly in the morning.
- The plan: I talked to my mom last night and she informed me that Brownie had been doing really, really crappy lately. Won't eat, can't hold it so she pees everywhere and generally acting weird and sickly, so they determined it might be "time." But don't worry, we'll wait til you come home this weekend so you can see her again. What actually happened: My phone rang at about 6:30, when I was still in my lab, btw, which is ridiculously late, and it was my "home is calling" ringtone. Well, dog was way worse today. So they took her to the vet and she's gone. :'(
- The plan: Ty was going to clinic today to start his new chemo. Hurrah, getting back on track with treatment! What actually happened: He's scheduled for surgery to get a shunt back in (big surprise there -rolls eyes- stupid doctor) and has a fever, so chemo is on hold for quite a while and possibly surgery too while they wait to see about the infection.
Yep, today sucked. Unfortunately, I think tomorrow will be worse. Argh. :-\
